China's population is growing at the slowest pace in decades. That's according to the latest census data out this morning. There are currently 1.4 billion people living in China. That's just over 5 -percent more than a decade ago. But what has many in Beijing worried: the birth rate remains weak and the population is getting older. The number of Chinese citizens between 15 and 59 has dropped by 7 percent, while the number of people over 60 continues to rise. A demographic shift like this is likely to have significant economic and political implications for the world's second biggest economy.

The former is per year, the latter per month.
I am sure you’d do better for $400 a month in China, than for $13k in US.
No; its 13000 per year US and 400 per year China - is the real number not the propaganda “we’ve eliminated poverty” number
Have you been to China? You’d make $15k a year delivering pizza in Harbin.
Most Chinese live in the rural areas and make less than 400 year average. bringing the average income down to 400 - City born live under different rules. Are you a wumau?
China needs to import more migrants to work in their camps.
They definatly make more that $400 a year and their number is heavily decreasing each year, but “two Chinas” is exactly the point I make. The “second China” is that source of growth, both in form of new workforce seeking inclusion into an industrialized economy, and as consumers when the inclusion takes place.
All in all the absolute minimum wage in the most depressive place like Jiangxi is slightly under $200 which by the way is enough to cover basic needs. That is not $400 a year.
An established white collar in Shanghai makes not much less than his Western counterpart.
You can like China or not, but it makes sense to get real.
$200 a month of course.
They didn't abort all, or even most. The female imbalanced will be handled: men with good jobs will get wives, low-income men won't. Perhaps they will redistribute the Muslim Uighur women to them after they kill off the Muslim men.
That's why the birth rate stays low: the wife has to work in order to help support everyone, and they cannot afford kids.
Well that’s what people who live there say - so I have no idea were you get your numbers - from the CCP perhaps?
What people? The people making $400 a year anywhere aren’t in a position to share their situation with you.
In fact the only figure I could fit your $400 regarding China is an official poverty line per member of household. It is not wage.
A family of 5 in rural area with an unemployed mother and a father on minimal wage of $175 a month fits into the category, except much less than half of the Chinese live like that, more like under 5%.
Governemnt benefits aren’t included in calculation by the way.
I think a larger portion of the US population don’t make $400 per family member a year.
OK Mr Wumau. You win
You are free to dispute my point, but personal insults do not count. Facts are appreciated.
Bye bye you do not recognize a fact if it bit you on the butt. So that makes you a wumau for the CCP.
That’s expected. I am not a fan of the Chinese regime by the way, but it makes sense for you to do the math before arguing on something you have no idea about.
You just keep reading Chinese propaganda and ignore what mainland Chinese say about their yearly average wage
I have been to China not once over 20 years. What is your experience? I guess a contact with one Shanghai liberal artist making six digits and digesting anti-Chinese propaganda from Western media on how poor China is.
once again, I don’t support China while saying it, I just hint that China would have more people worth a million dollar than US in 9 years.
Go away wumau
Ruleing ‘elites’ - even in China - want enough population growth so they can keep overspending ‘at the top’...
That’s the only reason for needing ‘more and more and more’ workers.
Eff ‘em.
Same with our country’s ‘elites’... that ‘gotta have more people’ — feeds their greed and power needs. Yeah, they would import the whole third world so long as that MADE THEIR POSITIONS STRONGER AND FEED THEIR CURRENT GRANDIOSITY...
So the slaughter of millions or ordinary Chinese is a good thing because it reduces the power of the CCP, just like the slaughter of millions of Americans reduces the power of the American elites?
FYI: the slaughter of millions of Americans is a significant loss; the slaughter of millions of Chinese is a rounding error.
Your slaughter of innocent non-party Chinese would do nothing, nada, zero, nichvo to reduce the power of the CCP.
